1. An apparatus of a master evolved node B (MeNB) operable to support dual connectivity, the apparatus comprising one or more processors and memory configured to:
- process, at the MeNB, a secondary evolved node B (SeNB) counter check request message received from the SeNB; and
process, at the MeNB, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages for transmission to a user equipment (UE) in response to receiving the counter check request message from the SeNB, wherein the one or more RRC messages are transmitted to the UE to verify a COUNT value for bearers established in the SeNB.

Abstract
Technology for a first evolved node B (eNB) operable to support dual connectivity with a second eNB is disclosed. The first eNB can process a second eNB counter check request message received from second eNB SeNB. The first eNB can process one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages for transmission to a user equipment (UE) in response to receiving the counter check request message from the second eNB. The one or more RRC messages can be transmitted to the UE to verify a COUNT value for bearers established in the second eNB.

8. At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for supporting dual connectivity at a master evolved node B (MeNB), the instructions when executed perform the following:
-
processing, using at least one processor of the MeNB, a secondary evolved node B (SeNB) counter check request message received from the SeNB; and processing, using the at least one processor of the MeNB, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages for transmission to a user equipment (UE) in response to receiving the counter check request message from the SeNB, wherein the one or more RRC messages are transmitted to the UE to verify a COUNT value for bearers established in the SeNB. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
